Cyber Millennial-Pop Svengali: Tokhes Leker

— George Orwell, born during sad hours under East Latitudein in 1903

The Book of Henry star gets very flustered when you ask her to define the word “wanker.”


One major and fundamental guarantee of protracted freedom is the unfettered right of the man to write as he sees fit, as his conscience indicates, as his mood dictates, as his cause cries out for. The moment you begin to censor the writer — and history bears this out in the ugliest of fashions — so begins a process of decay in the body politic that ultimately leads to disaster. What begins with a blue pencil — for whatever reason — very often ends in a concentration camp.
It has forever been thus: So long as men write what they think, then all of the other freedoms — all of them — may remain intact. And it is then that writing   becomes a weapon of truth, an article of faith, an act of courage.  
 Rod Serling (1924-1975)
